Hi all

last night i took my first decent planetary image. using my 10" f4 newt with a 2X barlow i was able to snap this shot. i should be able to get much higher resolution with my 5x powermate but the lack of a filterwheel and horrible backlash in my mount makes it quite difficult.

the image also shows the shadow of Io

thanks for looking

I thought i would add this one as well, it is only black and white but it shows Ganymede and Io in close conjunction and both of their shadows are visible on Jupiter.

Pretty good shots there, plenty of detail too.
